Leap of Faith: Book Two
He
can run, but he can’t hide…
Centuries ago, Hawk
made a terrible mistake which has haunted him since. Fear of responsibility and
feelings of unworthiness leads him to denying the mate Wha-tay showed him in a
vision. So now Hawk runs his bar, has casual sex, and never, ever dates men
with blond hair and brown eyes. But then Simon walks into his bar, and the
future he’s feared is about to end up in a brawl if Hawk doesn’t do
something—fast.
Simon Carter has a
smart mouth and a bulldog temperament. So when Hawk runs, Simon pursues the
sexy man, only to be rejected. Just as Simon decides to give up, someone—or
something—visits him to change his mind… and scares him to death. Now Simon is
backpedaling, and Hawk is in pursuit.
Desperate to reassure
Simon and keep him safe, Hawk is forced to reveal his secrets before he’s
ready. Can Simon learn to accept things aren’t always as they seem? Is the
connection between them strong enough to help Hawk overcome centuries of pain?
The only way the two men will move beyond Hawk’s past is for both of them to
take a leap of faith.

Excerpt:
“Hawk?”
Hawk mentally cursed
even as he slapped a smile on his face. So lost in his memories, he didn’t hear
the guy’s approach. There was a time that would not have happened.
“Hey. Um, you ready?”
“Yeah. I just…. This is
the last time, isn’t it? I mean, it’s a well-known fact you never take the same
guy home more than three times. This makes the third time. Am I right?”
This was another reason
he got his hookups out as fast as possible. He wasn’t into that whole “talking”
thing. Finding out what his reputation seemed to be was a little disconcerting,
though. Made him sound like a player.
Well, aren’t you?
Great, just what he
didn’t need right now—the spirit he shared his body with yakking in his ear.
Unfortunately it happened often. Very often.
“Ah, look….” Hawk
fought not to fidget. He was drawing a blank on the guy’s name.
“Jesus, really?” A
disgusted snort came from the man glaring at him. “You don’t remember my name,
do you? We’ve gone to bed three times now, and you can’t remember my name. It’s
Nicky.”
You weren’t even in the
right ballpark.
“I’m sorry, Nicky. I’m
bad with names. But yes, I don’t bring a guy home more than three times. It’s a
rule. You’re nice and all—”
“Oh God, seriously?
You’re giving me the ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ excuse?” Nicky glared at Hawk.
Hawk needed to nip this
in the bud. Emotional scenes weren’t his thing either. “It’s not an excuse. It is
me. I promise. Nicky, I don’t do relationships. It’s better if I…
I’m sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you, but I have my reasons.”
Nicky’s anger suddenly
fled from his face, leaving what looked uncomfortably like pity. “I’m sure you
do, and I’m sorry to hear that. I had hoped we could be more, but I guess not.
You’re a nice guy, Hawk, but man, whatever’s eating you, you need to let it
go.”
Hawk’s head snapped
back. “What? How did you—”
“Oh, come on. You think
you’re the only person on this planet who’s been hurt? You aren’t.” Nicky
fished his keys out of his pocket. “Let it go, man, and move on.”
Hawk’s mouth was still
hanging open when Nicky walked out the door.
I like him!
Hawk shut the door. “Shut.
Up. And there’s no point in you liking him. He’s got dark hair, remember?”
You never sleep with
blond-haired men. We all get it. Look, we both know he’s not your mate. But
here’s a human telling you the same thing we’ve all told you for years. For
that reason, I like him. It’s a shame. He could’ve been a good friend to you.
“I don’t want a mate,
and I don’t need friends.”
Everyone needs someone.
Even you.
Hawk shook his head.
“I’m not mate material. Whoever my mate is, he’d do better with someone else,
someone who isn’t me. He’d be happier.”
And does he get a vote
in this? Oh wait, I forgot. You da man.
“I’m going back to bed,
so stop yapping at me, please.” Yawning, Hawk locked the door. He stripped,
then returned to bed and straight back to dreaming about his mate.
